Don’t Replace Your Stone Floors — Restore Them
If your marble, travertine, or limestone floors look dull, scratched, or stained, you’re not alone. Over time, natural stone loses its finish due to foot traffic, spills, and improper cleaning.
The good news?
Most stone floors don’t need to be replaced — they can be fully restored.
At Cornerstone Hard Surface Restoration, we specialize in bringing natural stone back to life for homeowners across Mobile, Daphne, and Fairhope.
What Causes Natural Stone Floors to Deteriorate?
Natural stone is durable, but it’s also porous and sensitive. Common issues include:
- Etching: Acidic spills (like coffee or juice) dull the surface
- Scratches and wear patterns: From foot traffic and furniture
- Embedded dirt: Especially in travertine pores
- Dull or uneven finish: From improper cleaning products
- Stains: Oil, water, or organic materials soaking into the stone
These problems can make even high-end floors look worn out.
Our Stone Restoration Process
We don’t just “clean” stone — we restore the surface mechanically to remove damage and reveal a fresh layer underneath.
1. Deep Cleaning
We remove embedded dirt, grime, and contaminants using professional-grade equipment.
2. Honing
This step eliminates scratches, etching, and wear patterns by grinding the surface smooth.
3. Polishing (Optional Finish)
For marble and some limestone, we polish to restore a natural shine or gloss finish.
4. Sealing
We apply a high-quality penetrating sealer to protect against future stains and moisture.
The result: a floor that looks like new — without the cost of replacement.
Marble vs. Travertine vs. Limestone: What’s the Difference?
Each stone type requires a slightly different approach:
Marble
- Smooth, elegant surface
- Prone to etching and dulling
- Can be polished to a high gloss
Travertine
- Naturally porous with holes and pits
- Often requires filling and sealing
- Typically finished with a honed or satin look
Limestone
- Softer and more matte in appearance
- Best maintained with a honed finish
- Requires careful sealing to prevent staining
Our team adjusts the process based on your specific stone type and condition.
